They are upfront about the prize money, make a very reasonable effort to cover travel expenses, and ask for no entry fees. The judging system is described in detail. Whatever the secret ingredient may be (portamenti in contrary motion, anyone?), compliments to the chefs-des-concours!

I just finished watching an episode of Iron Chef and have long thought some sort of reality show for composers should exist. For the secret ingredient I’d go with one that could be used in both shows: beer! Give the drink to the chefs and the bottles to the composers. Most musicians I know have quite a bit of experience making music on beer bottles so it would be fun to hear a group of such pieces.
